Best Answer

This is the solvent in the ink (dye). Toluol and Xylol were common synthetics used as solvents but have now been replaced by safer chemicals such as cyclic alkylene carbonates. (this is the sweet smelling gas you detect) The solvent is the substance into which the dye is diluted. Water can also act as a solvent in ink. When released from the marker, the solvent evaporates and leaves the solid ink on the surface
